Meet Chasity Turbeville | Breastmilk, Cremation & DNA Keepsake Artisan

We had the good fortune of connecting with Chasity Turbeville and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Chasity, what is the most important factor behind your success?
The most important factor would have to be empathy. My ability to understand what someone is going through and put all those emotions into my work. I’ve made Breastmilk Jewelry for years, but here recently I’ve focused more on Cremation Keepsakes. When I first started my small business in 2020, I had many customers ask about Cremation. I was unsure at first, but I prayed about it. I truly believe God led me on this path for a reason. Little Foots Jewelry specializes in turning life’s most precious memories into beautiful keepsakes. I make Breastmilk Jewelry for mothers who would like a special keepsake to commemorate their journey & Cremation Jewelry for anyone who has lost a loved one. We also do Pet Cremation & DNA Resin Art. I’ve had many customers reach out to me & say “you are changing people’s lives & giving people like me, comfort.”
But in reality, they have changed my life. I feel so honored to be called to do my line of work. A true work of heart!

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
I handcraft Keepsake Jewelry. Every thing I make is custom made & with your very own inclusions. I create Breastmilk Jewelry for mothers that want a special & tangible way to cherish their breastfeeding journey. Cremation Jewelry for anyone who has lost a loved one or beloved pet. I also make DNA Keepsakes & Resin Art. I work with hair, encapsulated placenta, umbilical, flowers (funeral, wedding, prom), graveyard soil, sand, clothing, etc. The possibilities are endless!
Memorial Jewelry is something that has really made an impact on me. It’s a true honor that someone would entrust me with such precious inclusions. Everything I craft is made with compassion, attention to detail, & lots of love!

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
We live in Maryville, Tennessee & it’s a beautiful place to raise our babies! Friendly people, safe, & family oriented. There’s a local ice cream shop we visit often with the kids & it’s like going back in time. The Capitol Theatre Ice Cream Shop is a hidden gem!
The best places to try out in Tennessee would definitely have to be the state parks to see some of the most beautiful waterfalls & hiking trails. The Great Smoky Mountains, Cades Cove, Gatlinburg, Nashville.. but let’s not forget about the Vol Nation. GBO! So many things we love about where we live!

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
I come from a line of hard working entrepreneurs. I have a few people that I would like to recognize in my story. The first being my Dad. He has showed me first hand what strong work ethic means and putting your family first. My loving Mother. She’s a God sent. She has helped me in my motherhood journey & is always there to watch my kiddos while I work long hours and late nights in my office crafting. My best friends, for always encouraging me and telling me to “go for it!” Without them, I wouldn’t have came this far. I would have gave up a long time ago. The kind hearted people I’ve listed above, have made a true impact on me. They push me to achieve my goals and never give up on my dreams.
